History

After seeing a curious looking tree during a stroll whose bark looked like it was woven Verena (Ren) Demel, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Follow the Feathers, imagined a completely woven world and wondered about it’s inhabitants. What would the environment, the creatures and their lifestyle look like? Who could have created it? For about a year she kept revisiting this idea again and again until it developed into an actual game idea about dragons called Weavers with ribbon tails who could stitch through the surface of the world. She arranged a presentation and pitched it to her team who were thrilled by the idea. They did a game jam within their team to explore the games possible mechanics for a span of 24 hours to determine whether they should further pursue this idea. After this it was clear that they wanted to keep going.
